A detailed behind-the-scenes look at political journalism July 22, 1998 This book doesn't necessarily analyze news coverage of political campaigns, but it describes what it is like to be there and be a part of it. Actually, the book describes what it *was* like, because it is evident that many things in campaign reporting and the White House press corps have changed. Though it's not very dramatic, anyone who wants a close look at the gritty, sleepless, amusing and often hilarious world of covering a political campaign needs to read this.
A bit out-dated now, but still a good read July 23, 1998 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is a bit outdated, given the gender mix in the press corps now. But it still provides a good insight into the minds of reporters, especially those covering national politics.
